Search for the "System Bus" resource identified in the BBBB field of the DSA, by moving the
d.
cursor to each "System Bus" resource and selecting Display detail. Do this until you locate the
bus number that matches the decimal bus number value that you recorded from the DSA. Record
the resource name of the bus for later use.
e.
From the Logical Hardware Resources on System Bus display, select Include non-reporting
resources.
13.
From the Logical Hardware Resources on System Bus display, examine all of the IOP and IOA
resources under the bus. Look for a "System card" value that matches the decimal value of the Cc
that you converted to decimal in step 12 (See page 100). Perform the following to display the
"System card" value for each of the IOP and IOA resources:
To examine the IOP resources:
v
Select Associated packaging resource(s)—>Display detail. The "System card" value of the
a.
IOP will be shown on the display.
If the "System card" value matches the decimal value of the Cc, then you have located the
b.
failing resource. Record the frame ID, card position and part number, and then return to the
procedure which sent you here. Otherwise, continue to examine all the IOP and IOA resources
on the bus.
To examine the IOA resources:
v
a.
Move the cursor to an IOP resource and select Resources associated with
IOP—>Associated packaging resource(s)—>Display detail. The "System card" value of the
IOA will be shown on the display.
If the "System card" value matches the decimal value of the Cc, then you have located the
b.
failing resource. Record the frame ID, card position and part number, and then return to the
procedure which sent you here. Otherwise, continue to examine all the IOP and IOA resources
on the bus.
Have you examined all the IOP and IOA resources under the bus?
No: Repeat step 13 (See page 101).
v
Yes: Did you locate a resource with a "System card" value that matches the decimal Cc value
v
from step 12 (See page 100)?
Yes: Record the frame ID, card position and part number of the resource. Return to the
procedure that sent you here.
This ends the procedure.
No: You will not be able to locate the card using DST. Go to step 6 (See page 99) to locate the
card.
Bus PIP verify - RA: For use by authorized service providers.
Use this procedure to verify a repair for the high-speed link, for a system PCI bus, or for a multi-adapter
bridge. Within this procedure, the terms "system" and "logical partition" are interchangeable when used
individually.
1. Perform this procedure from the logical partition you were in when you were sent to this procedure.
To determine which logical partition owns an I/O resource, or to locate the console of a secondary
partition, see Logical Partitions in the iSeries Service Functions
2. If you previously powered off a system or logical partition, or an expansion tower during this service
action, then you need to power it off again.
3. Install all cards, cables, and hardware, ensuring that all connections are tight. You can use the
system configuration list to verify that the cards are installed correctly.
4. Power on any expansion tower, logical partition or system unit that was powered off during the
service action. Is one of the following true?
v If the system or a logical partition was powered off during the service action, does the IPL
complete successfully to the IPL or does Install the System display?
